"Research published this week indicates that North Korean scammers are trying to trick US companies into hiring them for architectural design work, using fake profiles, résumés, and Social Security numbers to pose as legitimate workers. The hustle fits into longstanding campaigns by the hermit kingdom to steal billions of dollars from organizations around the world using careful planning and coordination to pose as professionals in all different fields."
"Under pressure from the Department of Justice, Apple removed a series of apps from its iOS App Store this month related to monitoring US Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity and archiving content related to ICE's actions.

North Korean scammers are attempting to infiltrate US companies by posing as architectural design professionals using fabricated profiles, résumés, and Social Security numbers. These efforts are part of coordinated campaigns that have targeted organizations worldwide to steal billions by impersonating legitimate professionals across multiple industries. Apple removed several iOS apps that monitored and archived ICE activity after pressure from the Department of Justice, and some developers continue to distribute their apps on other platforms while contesting removals. Security researchers warn that AI-generated code in repositories will exacerbate software supply chain transparency and accountability problems. Apple expanded its bug bounty program, including payouts up to $2 million and bonuses for Lockdown Mode and beta exploit findings.
